About the RMC diagnostic tests

The RMC diagnostic tests the functioning of the remote management card that is in your system. The RMC diagnostic tests can generate error messages associated with the hardware, software, and user.

Note: Tests that are labeled [Xtnd] often require loopback plugs for complete test operation and will indicate failures without these plugs.

Caution: Do not run [Xtnd] mode diagnostics on network adapter cards with live network connections. Disconnect all network connections prior to running network diagnostics in [Xtnd] mode. Running with attached networks can adversely affect other attached devices. Type xtnd n to cancel Extended test mode.
